Ezekiel 34:23 promises a future Davidic shepherd who will truly care for the flock, prefiguring the perfect Shepherd whom David's intercession points to.

In Numbers 16:22, Moses and Aaron plead that one man's sin not bring wrath on all — the same logic as David's plea here.

In Numbers 16:48, Aaron stands between the dead and living to stop the plague — here David interposes himself to halt the plague on the people.

In Jonah 1:12, Jonah offers himself to be thrown overboard to save the sailors — here David offers himself to bear punishment instead of the innocent people.
